Since 1985

 

The First Responder Cycling Club, (FRCC) established 2016, is part of the Law Enforcement Cycling Association (LECA) which began in 1985 as a recreational cycling club for Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriffs.  From 1985-1997 LECA grew into National prominence through its elite racing teams (Chevrolet - L.A. Sheriff - #1 Professional Team in the U.S. 1994-96),  its educational programs (Tour de Schools™), and its international enthusiast club.  LECA also helped boost Women’s Professional Cycling with its “Chevrolet - Klein” Women’s Pro Team.

LECA is proud that numerous Olympic Medal recipients, National Champions, and cycling record holders have been members during its 35+ years. 

Greg “Sarge” Christopherson, President of the FRCC / LECA and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Sergeant (retired) states:

“The Public Safety Community--our First Responders--have a difficult and often dangerous duty. In most situations they roll-in while others run-away! The stresses upon them, their families, and their supporters are tremendous.  The FRCC hopes to create an environment that provides stress-reduction, encourages healthy habits, and increases community support for those who protect us.  We offer membership to anyone who shares our belief that "FITNESS SAVES LIVES"™ and who wishes to demonstrate their support. After all, nearly everyone can ride a bike--and cycling can be a lifesaver!”
